minus-squareIbex0@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up7·1 year ago Rather than ‘pregnant people’ or ‘pregnant person,’ use ‘pregnant women’ or ‘pregnant mom.’ And if she’s a child? And is she a mom while still pregnant?
minus-squareNepenthe@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up3·edit-21 year ago And is she a mom while still pregnant? I would say so, yeah. “The mother of the fetus” sounds fine. “Mother’s womb.” It’s not like men aren’t the father until it’s born. Excepting the questionable case of surrogacy, the term “pregnant mom” feels wrong to me because it’s redundant.
